Rael developed Stockholm Syndrome from the emperor's imprisonment to him. that's why
Probably. That's why he needs therapy.
All of them needs therapy
Love comes in all forms, be it toxic or non toxic. I don’t accept toxic love (involving abuse, rape etc), non toxic love should be a norm but unfortunately there are many toxic love in our reality.
I don’t understand why Rael love the emperor either, it can’t just be Stockholm syndrome since he fought against the emperor many times during his “stay” , maybe he felt lonely as well?? Loneliness can do a lot trust me.
I don’t think therapy is really needed if you really love that person even if that sort of “love” is not what we find love in. But that being the norm in our world, “That isn’t love, that’s obsessiveness”.
Once again, love comes in all forms. The ones society don’t accept, the ones society accepts.
If this is what Rael chooses, that’s on him and nobody else.
The one who needs therapy the most would be the emperor, he gotta decrease/get rid of his obsession first and respect Rael since this is the love we would accept as a norm.

I really cannot understand Rael. The emperor orchestrated an attack on Rowen, killed Daniel and his father, has threatened to kill Loren on multiple occasions, has tried to kill Rael, kidnapped him, imprisoned him, kidnapped and imprisoned Loren, regularly chooses violence to try and keep him... and Rael "loves" him? Boy needs therapy and Leon needs to stay in a prison cell.
